Right after school I just
like try to like run to the gym, so I can climb. It’s
a dangerous sport but the only thing that I’m
afraid of is not being able to get to the top.
With climbing I don’t think that it really matters with how big you are. If
you’re smaller, you can hold on longer and your
hands might be smaller so you can fit more fingers
on holds.
I started climbing in Central Park when I was six years old. Now I
don’t think I could like live without it.
When you’re close to the top of the climb you’re trying to do your
forearms usually feel like they’re gonna explode and
they’re gonna like burst open. You feel like you
have to let go, but with climbing you just can’t
let go. I think that climbing is, it’s obviously a sport, but it’s also like a dance. You sort of have to be able to like flow up the wall and come up with your own technique to get to the top. I think people are shocked if I do something that they can’t do or something, because
I’m still really young, and I’m a girl.
So, like, doing something that even if a guy
can’t do is pretty special.
